WORLD OF INDUSTRIES - MOTION, DRIVE & AUTOMATION 5/2017

WIN Eurasia 2018:

WIN Eurasia 2018: Organized together to make you win more March 15 th 2018, marks the beginning of a new journey for the manufacturing sector in Eurasia, with companies representing the metalworking, motion and drives, automation, logistics, energy, electric and electronic sectors all converging under one roof for a new trade fair under the WIN-Eurasia banner. Turkey lies at the crossroads of the global trade routes and energy routes, its geographic proximity to Europe, Asia, the Balkans and North African countries and to the energy producing regions in the Caspian and Central Asia make it a thriving trading hub and an attractive base for industries of all sorts. Turkey’s strategic location provides access within a four-hour flight radius to multiple markets with a combined population of more than 1.5 billion people, a combined GDP of $ 25 trillion. The country well placed between Europe and Asia has for centuries enjoyed the technological advancements from Europe and access to larger markets in Asia. Representing the industrial and manufacturing sector, WIN Eurasia Metalworking and WIN Eurasia Automation have been the leading and most influential trade fairs in the Eurasian region. These two important and international events are organized by Hannover Fairs Turkey Fuarcılık. For the 2018 edition of these trade fairs, the WIN Eurasia Metalworking and WIN Eurasia Automation have decided to combine their forces after being persuaded by visitors and top exhibitors. Under the motto of “Unity is strength”, this union is aimed to gather all the stakeholders and components of the manufacturing industry under the WIN Eurasia - World of Industry banner, starting from March 15 th to 18 th , 2018. Higher efficiency, higher gain! Organized in two separate phases between 2007 and 2017, the brand WIN Eurasia is now able to bring all its shows together under one roof thanks to increasing capacity of ‘Tuyap’ fairground. By having its two leading trade fairs under one roof, WIN Eurasia 2018, is expected to host 150,000 visitors and more than 3 000 exhibitors. Apart from a large audience and synergies generated due to increased interaction of participants from both the trade fairs, the 2018 WIN Eurasia will provide good advantages for the visitors and exhibitors in terms of time and budget efficiency as well. While visitors have a chance to reach more product groups in one stop, exhibitors get the opportunity to reach to more national and international trade visitors from several sectors. Moreover, since the exhibitors of the shows are also potential customers for other WIN shows, WIN Eurasia 2018 will generate more business contacts by gathering all WIN fairs at one location. Alexander Kühnel, General Manager of Hannover Fairs Turkey informs of the recent developments. He explains: “We have always attached great significance to the requests of the industry. Both our exhibitors and our visitors made heavy requests for the WIN Eurasia exhibitions to be merged, which until now were organized in two separate phases. As a result of our evaluations, we agreed on the NEWS AND MARKETS WORLDOFINDUSTRIES – MOTION, DRIVE & AUTOMATION 5/2017

idea that a single event covering 6 trade fairs that are closely related would create significant synergy. We are happy to be able to realize this project in 2018. WIN Eurasia - World of Industry 2018 will bring together all interrelated products and services in the manufacturing processes under a single roof. It will bring together its visitors with much more products, brands and exhibitors. So we believe that the new energy arising from two WIN events that combine their forces will bring about a much higher efficiency as well as a much higher gain for our exhibitors and visitors.” Change your bearing now ... and save up to 40% cost with dry lin ® linear bearings Shock sensitive Shockproof Experience 360 ° manufacturing industry under one roof As Eurasia’s largest and most influential industrial trade event, WIN Eurasia - World of Industry will offer a 360° view of the manufacturing industry together along with 6 trade fairs, all under one roof.
